Be the phasic difference of two-beam, the optical path difference of two-beam is Δ L=r 2-r 1
By synthetic light intensity formula as can be known, the cosine function of light intensity and phase differential is contacted directly, so interference of light phase detection principle can be measured the displacement of tens nanometer level, higher than the precision that direct measuring period, striped obtained, simultaneously than higher with the mode precision of capacitance detecting charge variation.
Two bundle reflected light (S1 ', S2 ") produces interference through different light paths after photo-coupler converges, and forms interference fringe, is surveyed by photodetector; be converted to electric signal output by photodetector, the photo detector signal output terminal is connected with the control system signal input part.The reflecting surface that the beam plated film of supposing to shake forms and fixedly the optical fiber tail end end face distance of Y type photo-coupler be l 0When the sensitive axes direction did not have the angular velocity input, optical path difference was
ΔL=2l 0 (2)
The two-beam initial phase is identical, so phase differential
Figure G2009101033285D00061
When sensitive axes has the angular velocity input, the reflection of walking beam micro mirror will change the output of light intensity, and optical path difference will change this moment, and then the phase change that is caused by angular velocity is:
Figure G2009101033285D00062
Wherein, Q yFor detecting the quality factor of mode, x direction peak swing Xmax, ω yBe the natural frequency of y direction, ω dBe driving frequency.Can calculate the big or small Ω (Ω is the input angular velocity of system's sensitive direction) of corresponding angular velocity thus by the measured value of phase change.
